Now, I watched this
Now, I watched this movie on VHS and I have to admit I was greatly disappointed. If you like Chinese dramas, and describe people as such, this should satisfy. If you want someone to bore you with their life, you'll have to watch this movie, because you can't have it both ways.
Now, I watched this film late in the summer of 2005, and only got the first hour. I was terrified (I knew the movie was coming), but I kept watching. I only wish I had watched more. Some of the acting was better than others, but the whole movie just wasn't worth the time. It's a shame that some people don't like movies like this. It's that important that we remember these movies.
